Chris Brown Released on Bail

Chris Brown ponied up his $50,000 bail and has left the police station — TMZ has some video of him on the way out. Chris turned himself in earlier tonight and was booked for the alleged assault of a woman after the Clive Davis party last night. He attended the party with Rihanna and while the identity of the woman has not and will not be released there are lots of rumors going around about what went down. We're trying to withhold judgment until there are some more facts out there, but either way it's a heartbreaking turn of events for a young man who seemed like a sweetheart.

I'm happy that whomever this happened to, whether it was Rihanna or not, had the fortitude to make sure that legal action was taken against him and not let him get away with it. It must have been serious for her to wind up in the hospital.

This is disgusting yet utterly sad. I read in an interview a while back, that Brown suffered through a childhood where he watched his mother get beat repeatedly by his stepfather. No woman deserves to be hit under any circumstance. It just makes me sad that the cycle of his childhood continues.

Gosh I hate men who abuse. So many of us wh suffered domestic abuse never reported it. IT is an unfortunate thing...I am glad that RIhanna reported it.I women see this as motivation to report those "nasties"

Hmm I think his career will not be over BUT it will have a huge dent in it.
Do you know how many of his fans are going to be disgusted?
The only bad I wish on him is that he get what he deserves.
I really hope he isn't above the law on this one since he's a celebrity.

Unfortunately domestic violence is still extremely prolific in society due to women still being regarded as the 'lesser' sex; I was shocked when I studied legal sociology to find that the statistics are quite high, and they were only for KNOWN cases. Even the rich, beautiful and famous are not immune...

i knew there was a reason i never liked him. and junkies_la i agree, i hope he's done for (if all of this is true). he has a good voice but the minute i heard his double mint gum song i wanted to blow my brains out... corporate whores are never good news.

You would not think at all he would do something like this, well if it is confirmed the woman is Rihanna I hope she is okay and breaks things off with him. No woman should me with a man who hits her, even once!
